Using 5.3-RELEASE-i386, I am not able to use my usb mouse while using
the internet through my Atheros 5212 wireless pci card.
Here's what I do:
$ startx
$ ping google.com
[move mouse]
Here's what happens:
ath0: device timeout
[X & mouse lock up]

Sorry for the length of this message, I didn't want to add a lot of
attachments..
BTW, I'm using 5.2.1-RELEASE right now, everything works perfectly. I
had configured both 5.2.1 and 5.3 the same, if there were differences,
it is in the default configuration.

I hope someone has a solution! I like a lot of things about 5.3.... :)
